SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of this planning session is to
discuss the schedule and workload associated with the development of
five salmon rebuilding plans in 2018. The STT will discuss a tentative
timeline and meeting schedule for completing the plans and
contributions of entities outside the STT in the development of
rebuilding plans. This webinar is intended to address the logistics of
developing the plans; detailed discussions of actual content will occur
at future meetings. A proposed agenda will be posted once available. If
time and interest allows, additional pertinent topics may be discussed,
including, but not limited to, future Council agenda items.
Three coho stocks (Queets coho, Strait of Juan de Fuca coho, and
Snohomish coho) and two Chinook stocks (Sacramento River fall Chinook
and Klamath River fall Chinook) were found to meet the criteria for
being classified as overfished in the Pacific Council's Review of 2017
Ocean Salmon Fisheries, released in February 2018. Under the tenants of
the Salmon Fishery Management Plan (FMP), a rebuilding plan is required
for each of these stocks. Among other requirements stipulated in
Chapter 3 of the FMP, the STT is to propose a rebuilding plan for
Council consideration within one year.
Although non-emergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda
may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action
during this meeting. Action will be restricted to those issues
specifically listed in this document and any issues arising after
publication of this document that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act, provided the public has been notified of the intent to
take final action to address the emergency.
Special Accommodations
The public listening station is physically accessible to people
